An unknown entity scooped up more than $35 million worth of XRP in less than an hour.
According to market analyst Dom (@traderview2), the mystery buyer has used a peculiarly specific algorithmic strategy in order to disguise the massive entry. "This isn't something you see often," the analyst noted.
The unidentified entity in question set up a sophisticated bot that ended up making a total of 156 identical purchases of 10,000 XRP. This was in lieu of placing one mammoth market order that would cause massive slippage.

It took mere minutes for the red line (Coinbase) to skyrocket from negative territory all the way up to the 16 million mark.
The teal line (Kraken) and yellow line (Bitstamp) mirrored this exact trajectory.

It is also showing strength against the broader market leader with a 2.3% increase in its Bitcoin pairing.
